Just one question, what is Chucks experience at right now anyways? My guy isn't playing as much as he could be and is currently at awful.

Wow Yung...no one said Rainey sucks...I am a bit jealous of him tbh, my player Barrow is still a few years away from U21 and he's no surefire starter like your guy.

I started this thread just to draw attention to 2 awesome players, not to tear your guy down I happen to like Trickle better, but that's only because my friend owns him. Would be a real shame if you quit over a few insults...stick with it and next season will be exciting to watch them dominate together on the U21 team!!

Also, Rainey's Gameshape now doesn't matter at all and it doesn't make you a lesser manager if you don't keep it up...in fact, it might be smarter to get him tons of minutes now to pump his experience and give him another advantage over opponents' guards.

Rainey is almost capped.

The cap on PAS potential might be higher than you are thinking.

Take a look at Gipson to get an idea of where the cap is for PAS potential guards (6626332)

Rambo could tell you better, but I think he was trained at least into his 22nd year.

Shaq,

If people are sending you messages that are insulting or inflammatory just report it. If it is happening in the forums you are to an extent opening yourself up to it by opening up your training and team management to the community although it is a little surprising that it has been THAT negative.

The important thing, however, is you have the support of people who know what they are talking about and have proven it in the USA community and on the USA team (myself, FC, Harper and to a lesser extent BFiddy...). Keep doing your thing man and let the haters waste all their energy.

True story. Took him to around the end of his 22nd year and maybe even beyond but he had pretty high initial stats.

For your sake hope its not $100k. Some of his salary is inflated.

No point in quitting when you are almost at the goal of the U21 team. It's been about 8 months working on him so far, right?

First off, I was not trying to say Rainey is not a great player...the thread is about two great players and which one you are for. I just gave a post as to why I think Trickle is better and will be better. No intention to offend, but I did just state things the research told me. To this point Own3d has handled his squad and even Trickle a little better IMO. So if the post went a little too far in some people's minds I am sorry. However I do stand by the logic of my post.

A better manager of a team often times leads to better players and I'm not sure how that can be disputed. Obviously the same caliber player in two different manager's hands will turn out differently....and I think that team management is a reflection of the overall savvy of a BB manager.

As for the minutes equaling better experience....I do see your point. I do however think that if you are trying to get more minutes there is no reason not to get the full 48 every game. Honestly I just think he is playing a ton because yungbeast needs him to carry his team. Rainey doesn't have a ton of help and therefore if he isn't on the floor the NY Dimes have trouble. If the minutes leads to a little bit better experience I still don't see that making a huge impact on their games as experience is still somewhat of an ambiguous subject.

Now just to make sure my post is not taken too heavily, I think Rainey is an absolute GREAT player and I would love to have him on my squad. I hope that he turns out to be a stud for the U21 squad and wish yungbeast the best with him.
